My name is Andrea Levy. My feelings of shame persisted at every yearly visit to the doctor. I am five foot one and weighed 315 pounds. For ten years before my life changed, I owned a catering business, and later, a seasonal restaurant in Niagara Falls, Ontario. While I did not exercise I was not sedentary and trained for and took part in two half-marathons in 2013/14 at over 300 pounds. My doctor advised me that if I did not heal, I would require surgery that might not work.
